80s Military Accompanying: The Heirless Tycoon Pampers His Pregnant Wife

"Oh right! I almost forgot, we have a doctor named Xiao He here." Xiao Xiuxiang's anger turned to joy, and she hurriedly extended her right hand.

"Wow! Xiaohe can even take a pulse?" Qin Shufen exclaimed in surprise.

"Xiaohe's family practices traditional Chinese medicine," Liu Yufang explained with a smile.

"Really?" Qin Shufen smiled, not pressing for details, but carefully watching Shen Fenghe take Xiao Xiuxiang's pulse.

Skills aren't something you can just talk about.

"Well……"

As Shen Fenghe used her middle, index, and ring fingers to press and search on Xiao Xiuxiang's right wrist, her expression gradually became serious.

"W-what's wrong? Am I seriously ill?"

Seeing her furrowed brows, Xiao Xiuxiang couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Shen Fenghe did not answer, but instead grasped her left wrist, closed her eyes, and pressed down with both hands.

The pulse at the cun-kou point is weak and hesitant; the pulse at the shao-yin point is weak and slow…

A minute later, she opened her eyes and asked Xiao Xiuxiang, "Do you only get your period about once every three months?"

Xiao Xiuxiang's eyes widened. "How did you know?"

"Huh? You only have your period once every three months? No wonder you haven't been able to get pregnant!" Qin Shufen exclaimed in surprise.

"Is this... an illness?" Liu Yufang looked at her hesitantly, then at Shen Fenghe.

Shen Fenghe said, "Our ancestors called this 'Jujing' or 'Jijing,' which means menstruation occurs roughly every three months."

"If your cycle has been once every three months since your first period, and you have no physical discomfort, then it is a physiological phenomenon due to individual differences and is not considered an illness. It just means that your chances of getting pregnant are indeed relatively lower than other women."

"However, if a menstrual cycle that was originally regular suddenly becomes once every three months, or is accompanied by symptoms such as infertility, poor development, hirsutism, or acne, it may be infrequent menstruation. In this case, traditional Chinese medicine may be needed for treatment, and it is best to combine it with a Western medical examination."

"I belong to the first type; I've always had sex once every three months," Xiao Xiuxiang hurriedly replied.

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Yufang joked, "Then it's no use for you and Wang Lei to work hard; you have to work within the time limit."

"What are you doing? Why are you even calculating the time?" Zhu Jing's voice suddenly came from the stairwell.

Her voice arrived before she even went upstairs.

The four exchanged a knowing glance, and Qin Shufen laughed it off, "Nothing much. We were just talking about Xiaohe's pulse-taking skills. With just a slight touch, she discovered that Xiangmei only gets her period once every three months."

"My sister-in-law can even take a pulse?" Zhu Jing's eyes bulged like copper bells.

"You didn't know?" Qin Shufen asked in surprise.

Zhu Jing shook her head and looked at Shen Fenghe, "Sister-in-law, why didn't my brother mention that you could take a pulse?"

"I didn't tell him that I was basically self-taught and couldn't compare to the military doctors around him," Shen Fenghe said awkwardly.

"Tch... Some military doctors are not as good as me, a half-baked nurse who can't even give an injection!" Xiao Xiuxiang said with her hands on her hips and a laugh.

"You mean Luo Cancan? I heard she was transferred to your family compound." Zhu Jing turned to her.

"It's because of her that Xiaohe couldn't get into the clinic!" Xiao Xiuxiang said angrily.

"Sister-in-law, you want to go to the clinic?" Zhu Jing was surprised again, then stamped her foot in regret. "Why didn't you tell me? If I had known beforehand, how could Luo Cancan have gotten involved?"

"Hmph! Yu Li helped Luo Cancan steal my sister-in-law's job, adding another new grudge between us."

She stomped her foot heavily again.

"Old grudges and new hatreds?"

Shen Fenghe finally realized that Zhu Jing and Yu Li's animosity wasn't solely due to her.

"Yu Li almost ruined my career!" Zhu Jing said through gritted teeth.

"Huh?" Shen Fenghe was taken aback.

Zhu Jing told her, "It happened last year. I sprained my ankle during rehearsal. Yu Li examined me and said that I had a serious ligament injury in my ankle and would never be able to dance again. She told me to retire early."

"I don't believe it! Although I'm not a medical student, I've been dancing since elementary school and have been injured quite a few times. Although that time did look quite serious, I've had even more serious injuries before, and I only needed to rest for two months at most to recover."

"I suspect Yu Li deliberately lied to me, or perhaps she wasn't well-versed in medicine and secretly had my brother take her to the military hospital in my city for a checkup... Sister-in-law, guess what?"

She looked intently at Shen Fenghe.

Shen Fenghe speculated, "It shouldn't be a ligament injury, just a common muscle strain?"

"Yes!" Zhu Jing nodded emphatically, gritting her teeth again, "If her father weren't a high-ranking officer, I would definitely make sure she couldn't stay in our military region!"

"Is Yu Li's medical skill really that bad?" Qin Shufen asked with a hint of doubt.

Although Yu Li is Chief Yu's daughter, she was among the first batch of students admitted to military medical university after the resumption of the college entrance examination, unlike Luo Cancan, who did not even attend a nursing school.

"She's not bad at medicine, she's deliberately messing with me," Zhu Jing sneered. "She's just jealous of me, she's been jealous since we were kids. What can I do? Even though she's got long arms and legs, she's unfortunately the one with the limp."

Everyone suddenly realized why Zhu Jing and Yu Li always fought whenever they met.

"Yu Li is so awful! Luckily you were careful, otherwise you would have been discharged early and it would have been difficult for you to return to the military region later," Xiao Xiuxiang said angrily.

"Even if you can come back, you won't be the mainstay anymore. Dancing is a youth-oriented profession. Don't even mention taking a year or two off; even in half a year, some good newcomers will emerge." Liu Yufang nodded in agreement.

"Now you know why I hate Yu Li so much, right? She's incredibly despicable, and you all need to be careful around her," Zhu Jing said seriously.

The person you should be most wary of is your sister-in-law.

Qin Shufen glanced at Shen Fenghe beside her, but didn't say anything aloud.

Everyone knows that Yu Li turned down several good suitors in order to marry Ye Zhengting.

Unfortunately, a surprise attack came out of nowhere.

Although Shen Fenghe doesn't seem to have any background, she is beautiful and kind. Marrying a rich girl like Yu Li and having to take care of her is not as good as marrying a confidante like Shen Fenghe.

"Sister-in-law, you actually know medicine! My brother is so lucky to have you!"

That night, due to a sudden downpour and thunder, Zhu Jing was afraid of being struck by lightning on her way home, so she decided to stay overnight at Shen Fenghe's house and sleep in the couple's new bed.

The thought that her brother had never slept in this bed made her feel smug, and she rolled around on the bed several times, almost falling off. Fortunately, Shen Fenghe caught her at the edge of the bed, preventing her from falling flat on her face.

After pulling Shen Fenghe down to lie down with her, she hugged her and asked her to tell her about her family home.

Shen Fenghe avoided talking about her brother and sister-in-law, and only talked about the Shen family's past experience of running a clinic in Jincheng, as well as the changes they encountered during the ten years of turmoil.

"Alas! A perfectly respectable family of healers has been branded as a 'stinking intellectual'."

After listening, Zhu Jing could only sigh. In those years, her family had not been able to escape the fate of being persecuted, but fortunately, they had deep roots and wide connections, so they did not end up with their family destroyed.

"Why didn't you ask me about my family before?" Shen Fenghe couldn't help but ask curiously.

Zhu Jing, as Ye Zhengting's cousin, never inquired about her background or past, unlike Zhong Jie, who seized every opportunity to extract information.

"Because you're the one my brother has his eye on! There's definitely no problem," Zhu Jing said confidently.

Shen Fenghe lowered her eyes.

It wasn't him who took a liking to me; I just stumbled into getting entangled with him by accident.

If I had knocked on someone else's door that day...

"I'm a little worried about my brother and the others," Zhu Jing suddenly said, her voice somewhat heavy.

"Why? Is outdoor training dangerous?" Shen Fenghe looked up at her.

Zhu Jing frowned. "Soldier training always involves danger, but severe weather is far more terrifying than the dangers of training itself!"

boom--

As soon as she finished speaking, a deafening clap of thunder suddenly rang out outside the window, making the window rattle loudly.

"What's wrong, Commander?"

The soldier on night duty suddenly saw Ye Zhengting emerge from the tent, wipe the rain off his face, and hurried over to greet him.

Ye Zhengting raised his binoculars and pointed them southeast; the torrential rain made visibility very blurry.

He dared not harbor any illusions and decisively ordered, "Send a team of men with me to check out the village nestled in the mountains; the rest of you stay put!"
